Answer:

The correct option is: a. respiratory acidosis        

Explanation:

Respiratory acidosis is a serious medical condition which is characterized by hypoventilation i.e. decrease in ventilation. Hypoventilation causes an increase in the carbon dioxide concentration in blood, thus <u>increasing the partial pressure of carbon dioxide</u> which leads to a <u>decrease in the pH of the blood</u>. Respiratory acidosis is of two types: acute and chronic.

A client is being administered chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer. Which blood cells will be stimulated by the
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The white blood cells i.e. granulocytes and macrophages are specifically stimulated by GM-CSF  in response to chemotherapy in cancer patients.

Explanation:

The colony stimulating factors (CSFs) are the regulators of granulocytes and macrophages in blood. The CSFs has the potential to regenerate the white blood cells damaged during chemotherapy. Thus, CSFs mobilize the stem cells to enhance the immune process and produce hematopoietic cells such as granulocytes, macrophages in cancer patients. The CSFs resemble hormones that are specifically targeted to produce blood cells in specified regions where the quantity of those cells is low. The CSFs belong to a group of regulatory factors also known as cytokines and does not produce only a single cell type but stimulates colonies of different blood cell types for any specific organ. Hematopoietic cells produced by CSF are step-wise and formation of blast colonies take place initially. Afterwards, the blast cells regenerate and differentiated into multiple progenitor cells consisting of granulocytes, monocytes, macrophages, eosinophills, erythroids, and lymphocytes. The progenitor cells in the granulocyte-macrophage lineage matures into neutrophilic granulocytes and macrophages.  

Out of all types of CSF colonies, the Granulocyte-Macrophage (GM-CSF) colony is specially involved in regenerating immune responses in cancer patients. These cytokines stimulates the dendritic cell formation and produces dendritic activity against the cancerous cells. These GM-CSF colonies enhance the immune response of host against melanomas, tumors by reducing their growth and inducing remission. Hence, it can be said that granulocytes and macrophages are infection protective cells and elevates dangerously low levels of white blood cells in cancer patients following chemotherapy. The GM-CSF induction regenerates the bone marrow which is damaged and improves stem cells production.

The nurse recognizes the client in the emergency department from a picture in the local paper. The client has recently received
Tcecarenko [31]

Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:

a) "Would you like me to call your parents?"

b) "I am sorry this is happening to you."

c) "You have a lot to live for."

d) "The voices are not real."

Answer:

b) "I am sorry this is happening to you."

Explanation:

The client is having hallucinations of voices telling him that he is worthless. He is suffering from low confidence and does not feel good enough even though he has achieved significantly in life. He also has history of self harm. So, the client has started to shut out the world and be in his own thoughts.

In this case, before approaching any treatment, it is necessary for the nurse to make the client comfortable. She should be empathetic and show genuine concern which will make the client trust her more. If the nurse just abruptly tells the client that his hallucination is not real or that she wants to inform his parents, he might become even more reclusive. He might even refuse to participate in the future treatment.

So instead of forcing him to understand his condition or telling him to be positive, it is first important for the nurse to build a healthy connection with him. Thus, option b) is correct.
